(Monday)

Now today begins the last week of this semester. We have a Biology exam and the problems include catching Pokemon, getting new Pokemon, Pokemon evolution, Shiny Pokemon chances, and Pokemon forms. And the last question... let's say that Professor Jacq is asking if we like his class since he's still getting used to this teaching thing.

"Hehe... I snuck in a little bonus question there right at the end again. Shhh, our little secret- don't tell the director!" This is what Professor Jacq says to us after the class is over. "I'll grade these right away. I hope you're all looking forward to seeing how you did!"

After class, I say, "Now our Biology Class is over..."

"Indeed." Lillie says. "Six more classes and we'll be able to get to the winter vacation."

(Tuesday)

Professor Tyme's Math Class is also in its Final Exam, the problems include shopping for items, Pokemon Move Power with critical hits, Pokemon Move Power with Type advantages and disadvantages, Stat increases or decreases, and the power multiply after Terastallizing. Some of the questions are tricky enough to fool a lot of students, but it is not that hard for me, I suppose...

"This test was the culmination of all I taught you, and I'm sure you all did just fine." Tyme says. "Do remember to take a nice break after class."

After class, Drandon asks, "So there is one question, it says that if a Pokemon uses Swords Dance twice to boost its Attack by four stages, then how much damage will its physical moves then do? What is your answer?"

I say, "That was easy. It was the Triple damage. Don't tell me you pick Double."

"Of course not." Drandon says. "I was just making sure."

In Professor Raifort's Final Exam, the problems included the Great Crater of Paldea, the foundation of this Narauva University, the Treasure of Ruin Pokemon, Area Zero Expedition, and the invention of Tera Orbs. All of these questions really help a lot since we promise Professor Sada and Professor Turo that we're going to their secret lab once the semester is over.

"You must excuse that last question. It is too shallow and ridiculous to be on a history test, but alas... the director forced me to include it."

After class, Reisa says, "I wonder why the Director wants Professor Raifort to make that final question?"

"I don't know. I mean... "How many years ago did Professor Sada and Professor Turo invent Tera Orbs"? I think the director wants to put it because he is a part of the team..."

Lillie says, "And I'm sure that nobody will get it wrong. Because they are only invented 10 years ago."

(Wednesday)

In Professor Salvatore's Language Classes, most of the questions are Translation questions, and during the middle of the class, he has his Pikachu do some expressions so that we are able to do some of the questions. Whose idea is it to put the observation quizzes inside the exam sheet? And the last question is also the same as the Mid-Term Exam, is he seriously think nobody knows our teacher's name?

"I assume the obligatory derniere question - last question, that is - gave you no trouble!" Professor Salvatore says.

After the class is over, Lillie says, "For some reason, I think you can just cheat your way through the observation test."

"And why is that?" I ask.

"You're an Aura user, you can just read the Pokemon's mind." Lillie says. "But you didn't do it, right?"

"Of course, cheating is bad, and besides, I'm already cheating because Pikachu has been my partner since the very beginning." I say as I rub my Pikachu's ear.

"Right. It will be funny to see if you get the answers wrong." Nemona says.

In Professor Dendra's Battle Studies Class, the problems included the cheers used in Tera Raid Battles, Auto Battles, gaining LPs, the levels adjustment in the Link Battles, and the rules of the Link Battles.

"I saw you giving it everything you've got! I'm sure you'll all get perfect scores!" Dendra says. "You all did so well in my class! If you pass this test, you'll officially be battle masters!"

After class, we decide to take a rest, and Reisa asks, "So still not answer from your mother?"

I shake my head and say, "No, maybe she's still fighting against Team Rocket. But recently, I didn't see those three from Team Rocket annoying us."

"Well, thanks to Director Clavell, they are forbidden to enter the school grounds, and I'm pretty sure that their boss would want to call them back to Kanto since we're attacking them." Lillie says.

"I hope what you're thinking is right. And if this is over, we won't need to deal with them anymore." I say with a smile.

(Thursday)

Professor Hassel's Art Class is also having its Final Exam. The Problems included the restaurant that can change a Pokemon's Tera Type, Brassius' artworks and their meanings, the Ten sights of Paldea, and the marks and ribbons of the Pokemon.

"Thank you all so much for learning about art with me!" Hassel says. "The time we shared has left a mark that I will treasure, I promise you. And it is my sincere wish that all of you go on to even greater, prosperous futures."

After class, Lillie and I are stopped by Professor Hassel, he asks, "So Ash and Lillie. Since you two have 8 Gym badges already, I was wondering when you're going to challenge the Pokemon League?"

I say, "It will be very soon, I guess, since we are still training and we really want to become the Champion Rank trainers like Nemona."

"I see... well, I'm pretty sure that you've met all of the Elite Four members, I'm sure that every one of them will be happy to take you two on." Hassel says with a smile.

Wait, do we meet all of the Elite Four members? I mean... there is Rika, Poppy, and Hassel... but who's the fourth one? And how come I met them?

After classes, we also decide to visit Nurse Miriam, she has been preparing for her certification exam these few weeks, and when we decide to greet her, she tells us that she passes the exam and is going to become the Health Teacher in the next semester. She also says that it is because of our encouragement that she is able to pass the test, and she wants to give us 10 Max Revives as rewards.

(Friday)

We're having our final test with Professor Saguaro's Home Education class. The problems include Meal Powers, Pokemon Picnicking, and outfits and styles.

After the test is over, Professor Saguaro says, "I... made the questions a little easier than I'd planned to, as a way of saying thank you for informing me about Rotom Phone cases. I trust that you all gave this exam everything you had so that you will not have to retake it."

After we go to the school hall, we get to see the scores, like usual, Lillie and I get full A scores, so we get 35 Exp. Candies M as rewards, and with Director Clavell's awards, we also gain 5 more Exp. Candies L.

"Time flies really fast." Nemona says, "And this semester is already over."

"You're right." I say. "Although I need to call my mother and ask about the news... it has been 5 days since she begins the Team Rocket raid..."

As I dial the phone number on the Rotom Phone, my mother finally shows up in front of us. But much to my horror, she has stitches on her forehead.

"Mom! Are you alright? What happened to your head?" I ask with horror.

"Oh, don't worry, it was just a scratch." My mom says to me with a smile. "Anyway, thank you for the help of the four Ruinous Pokemon, Team Rocket is finally over."

This causes Lillie and I to jump for joy, and I ask, "And what about Giovanni, or the other Team Rocket grunts?"

"Giovanni is dead... along with some of the executive Team Rocket members." My mom says. "We only lose 10 members of the International Police and Rota Army combined. And the rest of the Team Rocket members are arrested."

"I see..." I'm actually happy that the leader of Team Rocket is dead, and my father is avenged, there is nothing happier than this. "But what about Jessie, James, and Meowth?"

My mom is confused, and she asks, "I've never seen them back in Kanto. Why did you ask?"

That means those three are still out there, trying to capture my Pikachu so that they can give it to their dead boss? But I'm pretty sure that every time we bring them into prison, they will always escape no matter what.

"That means those three are still in the Paldea Region..." I say. "And they might be near us as well..."

"What are we going to do then?" Lillie asks.

"I'm sorry that it has to be done like this..." My mother frowns. "But you have to kill them and not leave them alive. I'm pretty sure they won't change no matter how you try to persuade them."

Trying to kill them, huh... Killing is not that easy... but is this the only way? After my mother ends the call, Nemona asks, "Hold on, Ash... does that mean you have killed someone before?"

This causes my friends to look at me with a weird faces, and Lillie is showing concern. I say, "I only kill when I was ordered to, not because I want to."

Drandon says, "Ordered to? You mean like your mother or the International Police?"

"Yeah... and it seems I'm going to kill those three... if anything, I think those three deserve it." I say.

When we get outside, we decide to wait for Team Rocket to show up and take my Pikachu, that way I can finally do the kill. And just when they show up with their stupid motto and a net that captures Pikachu, saying that it is electricity proof, I smirk and say, "So what if you take my Pikachu? Your boss is already dead thanks to the Treasure of Ruins that he asks you to get."

This causes the trio to be surprised, and Jessie mocks, "If you think you're going to lie to us, try again!"

James tries to call the boss, but there is no one answer, and James says, "Um... I don't think the twerp is lying."

"You know what? I've already have enough of you guys stealing my Pikachu for 8 and a half years." I say as I take out the knife, slashing the net and freeing Pikachu. "You have two choices, you'll leave us alone and never bother us again, or I'm going to end your life here."

"End our life?" Jessie, being the stupid one, mocks me, but I smirk as I put the knife at her neck. "My mother is Aurora, just so you know. She used to be Team Rocket's best assassin."

Now the others are terrified and James yells, "We will leave you alone! We promise!"

"Good." I say as I let them go, and they all run away like scaredy cats. Nemona says, "So you're just going to spare them?"

"I still couldn't bring myself to kill them. That's why I'm going to give them a chance. If they seem to follow us again, I will not hesitate this time."

"Fair enough." Lillie says. "Anyway, let's celebrate the end of the semester."

"Let's go!" Nemona cheers as we all go back to our dorm.

And here is a new chapter, and this marks the end of the semester, and starting from the next chapter, Ash and the others can finally begin the final quests of the Treasure Hunt.
